At the outset, I would like to say that I have the highest respect for Sourav as Captain and also his contribution to Indian cricket. I also feel strongly that he should have been treated fairly and with dignity by the public and the selectors and the media
These jokes were sent a couple of months ago by someone and I was about to erase them. Everybody appreciated them in Mr Gujral,s chatroom and I hope you like them too.
Being a poet myself, I always appreciate the imagnination of people who invent jokes. This should be seen in that spirit only-no disrespect implied to Sourav who will go down in history as one of our greatest captains apart from being a very elegant bastman. Anybody who scores 15000 runs in international cricket does not require any testimonial.
At the same time, I can't but also appreciate such talent and imagaination.:-
Hat trick
Sachin was out first ball. On the long walk back to the pavilion he had to pass the incoming batsman Ganguly.
'Hard luck, man,' smirked Ganguly.
'Yes. It's a shame I had to be right in the middle of a hat trick.'

Dear Customers,
We have received many compliments after we shared our recipe of 4 easy steps to cook Maggie. However we have received a very important complaint which we need to share with you all.
One of our regular customers, Mrs. Radha Pai, from Meerut had written to us that she tried out the recipe to cook Maggie during the first ODI between India & Pak.
She says that she followed all the steps correctly and was eager to have her breakfast. But she found that the Maggie was hardly fully wet and hence was not properly cooked.
We thoroughly apologized to our customer on behalf of our captain who returned back to the pavilion even before the Maggie was properly soaked in water.
In this regard we request all our customers to take a precaution and to wait for the Maggie to be cooked until after the re-plays.
Remember, even if Ganguly is back well before 2 minutes, the replays would ensure your Maggie is rightly done.
The management once again apologizes for any uncooked Maggies during the first ODI.
Regards,
Customer Care.

The nervous Ganguly was having a terrible time and was lucky to still be at the crease. During a lull, he stammered to Kamran Akmal ,
'Well, I expect you've seen worse players.'
Silence....
Ganguly repeated 'I said I expect you've seen worse players.'
Akmal said 'I heard you the first time. I was just trying to think.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ganguly had a large opinion of his batting prowess. He was approached by a KSCA member who couldn't resist saying to him,
'You know, whenever I watch you bat, I always wonder...'
''I know, I know. How I do it.''
'No. Why you do it?'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ganguly had a dreadful test match which cost his side the game. All week long he practiced hard for the next game. During the following match, he said to John Wright,'Notice any difference?'
John Wright looked at him thoughtfully. 'You've had your hair cut, haven't you?'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone call for Ganguly!
India Pakistan Match has started. As to be expected, it's a charged up atmosphere and the heat is really on! India is put in to bat. As to be expected, three wickets down, for a measly score. There is phone call for Ganguly, at the Dressing Room. The Team Manager picks up the call.
"Hello ! I am Ganguly's friend speaking . Can I talk to him now ?"
The Team Manager replies : "Sorry ! He has just gone in to bat. "
The caller replies "No problem . I'll hold the line ! "
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the shameful defeat of Indian cricket team to Pakistan inBangalore, the team members were not able to show their faces to peopleand they chose not to go in public and rather just pack up in hotelrooms.
Ganguly could not resist for too long to be in hotel and notable to go out shopping and have fun. So he disguises himself as aSardar and goes out.
he meets a woman at the exit of the hotel who greets him "Hi Saurav !"
Surprised for having been caught he comes back and makes himself up asa Muslim woman - in Burkha etc and goes out. Yet same again - thesame woman greets him "Hi Saurav!".
Ganguly comes back determined to give it yet another try with the makeup of a Hippie wig and shorts etc. All in vain - the same lady catcheshim again and greets him "Hi Saurav!".
Bewildered by now, he could not help asking, "How did you recognizeme?"
The lady replied - "I am Laxman!"

I did not say this.. they said it
Here it goes....
> Shoaib Akhtar admits Ganguly is faster and quicker than him.
"I haven't seen any one get out so fast. Man, I envy his speed. I am
quick but he is quickest," he says, "I think I should now cut my
run up short when I bowl to him. Or else, he might be gone when I
am half way through my run up."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Indian Railways keen on Ganguly as brand embassador:
"We'll be having someone who comes (back) before time. This will
help railways improve the image with the Indian public." says a
Railway spokesperson.
> Q: Any guess which is Ganguly's favorite movie?
A: Gone in 60 seconds.
>>> Contributed by Addicted...
> Que- What is the difference between God and Ganguly?
Ans- God doesnt think he's Ganguly
> The Indian sides standard of batting was very low. Even at net
practice, they couldn't hit a thing. Finally, captain Ganguly rushed
forward and grabbed the bat. 'Now bowl me some fast ones!' he yelled.
Ten fast balls came down in quick succession and he missed them all.
He glared at the team and shouted: 'Now that's what you're all doing.
Get in there and hit them!'
